CNC machining is expensive because you will have to consider the acquisition cost of high-quality equipment and other associated costs relating to post-processing systems. Hence, all these costs require careful consideration, especially if you are the owner of a small or medium-sized business. Otherwise, the expenses relating to the manufacturing processes would soon be out of proportion. Avail of CNC Precision Machining and modern equipment at low rates through an online store.

Marcus Tullius Cicero is the funniest name to polish people because "tullius" means "hugging" (tulić) and "cicero" means "boobies" (cyce).

So to Polish classicist his name basically means... Marcus The Boobie Hugger

god I love caretaker-turned-whumpee so much. "I'm going to scream. don't stop." coaching someone through stitches. explaining the procedure step-by-step, knowing the motions by heart and knowing your life has to be in someone else's hands. "take a deep breath. steady. you can do this." pushing aside the agony in favor of keeping your inexperienced caretaker calm, clinical precision even in pain, "hold me down," the trust and vulnerability in letting someone heal you when you spend your life healing others. ugh. it's so good.

President Biden issued an executive order on Tuesday that prevents migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border when crossings surge, a dramatic election-year move to ease pressure on the immigration system and address a major concern among voters.

The measure is the most restrictive border policy instituted by Mr. Biden, or any other modern Democrat, and echoes an effort in 2018 by President Donald J. Trump to cut off migration that was blocked in federal court.

In remarks at the White House, Mr. Biden said he was forced to take executive action because Republicans had blocked bipartisan legislation that had some of the most significant border security restrictions Congress had considered in years.

“We must face a simple truth,” said the president, who was joined by a group of lawmakers and mayors from border communities. “To protect America as a land that welcomes immigrants, we must first secure the border and secure it now.”

Aware that the policy raised uncomfortable comparisons, Mr. Biden took pains to distinguish his actions from those of Mr. Trump. “We continue to work closely with our Mexican neighbors instead of attacking them,” Mr. Biden said. He said he would never refer to immigrants as “poisoning the blood” of the country, as Mr. Trump has done.

Still, the move shows how drastically the politics of immigration have shifted to the right in the United States. Polls suggest there is support in both parties for border measures once denounced by Democrats and championed by Mr. Trump as the number of people crossing into the country has reached record levels in recent years.

The restrictions kick in once the seven-day average for illegal crossings hits 2,500 per day. Daily totals already exceed that number, which means that Mr. Biden’s executive order could go into effect right away — allowing border officers to return migrants across the border into Mexico or to their home countries within hours or days.

Typically, migrants who cross illegally and claim asylum are released into the United States to wait for court appearances, where they can plead their cases. But a huge backlog means those cases can take years to come up.

The new system is designed to deter those illegal crossings.

The border would reopen to asylum seekers only when the number of crossings falls significantly. The figure would have to stay below a daily average of 1,500 for seven days in a row. The border would reopen to migrants two weeks after that.

The American Civil Liberties Union said it planned to challenge the executive action in court.

“The administration has left us little choice but to sue,” said Lee Gelernt, a lawyer at the A.C.L.U, which led the charge against the Trump administration’s attempt to block asylum in 2018 and resulted in the policy being stopped by federal courts. “It was unlawful under Trump and is no less illegal now.”

There would be limited exceptions to the restrictions announced Tuesday, including for minors who cross the border alone, victims of human trafficking and those who use a Customs and Border Protection app to schedule an appointment with a border officer to request asylum.

But for the most part, the order suspends longtime guarantees that give anyone who steps onto U.S. soil the right to seek a safe haven.

The executive action mirrors the legislation that Republicans blocked in February, saying it was not strong enough. Many of them, egged on by Mr. Trump, were loath to give Mr. Biden a legislative victory in an election year.

“Donald Trump begged them to vote ‘no’ because he was worried that more border enforcement would hurt him politically,” Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday. He added: “The American people want bipartisan solutions to border security — not cynical politics.”

Immigration advocates and some progressive Democrats have expressed concern that Mr. Biden was abandoning his promise to rebuild the asylum system.

“By reviving Trump’s asylum ban, President Biden has undermined American values and abandoned our nation’s obligations to provide people fleeing persecution, violence, and authoritarianism with an opportunity to seek refuge in the U.S.,” said Senator Alex Padilla, Democrat of California.

Tuesday’s decision is a stark turnaround for Mr. Biden, who came into office attacking Mr. Trump for his efforts to restrict asylum. During a 2019 debate, Mr. Biden, then a candidate running against Mr. Trump for the first time, excoriated his rival’s policies.

“This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country,” Mr. Biden said at the time.

so are we going to talk about how SSRIs, even taken for short periods of time, cause long term sexual dysfunction that can, and for many people does, persist for decades after they stop taking the medication? were we ever going to talk about that? were any of my doctors ever going to warn me that taking this medication could damage my sex life permanently? are we going to talk about this in the context of the frankly alarming number of young people who are put on these medications as teenagers? or the sudden sharp rise in people id'ing as asexual? no?

I can’t help but think about the culture of turning a blind eye that Bobby grew up in and the ways that hurt him like… like give it a few years (6 or 7 at most) and he’s made it through the academy, he’s a probie, maybe in his dad’s old firehouse. and those same men - the ones who ignored Tim’s drinking, the way he spoke to his wife - they’re Bobby’s coworkers now, or they’re his superiors

And so what if he shows up to the station smelling like a distillery because “It’s Tim’s boy, you remember what he was like,” and so the problem goes ignored and goes ignored

And we know Bobby tried (and succeeded in) getting clean, but how hard must that have been? Because you take this boy, this kid, who’s too young to know that he couldn’t have saved his father, no matter how hard he tried. And all he knows how to do is follow in those stumbling footsteps. And he’s in so much pain and the only way he knows how to numb it is just hurting him in other ways and you can’t tell me that he wasn’t given special treatment, that he was given grace where he shouldn’t, that he was allowed to take his father’s place in the eyes of the men he held up as heroes

And maybe they thought it was a kind of penance, an effort to smooth over the scar that Tim’s death had left in their lives. But Bobby didn’t need them to look away, to enable his bad behaviour, he needed them to look at him, to see him and how hurt he was.

He needed someone to say “It’s not your fault.”

Instead he was left all alone,

And he thinks that’s what he deserves

I'm perpetually torn between dissing 1st-game!Kishiar's zero communication skills + handling of 1st-game!Yuder and excusing him for everything bc 1) he's so obviously in love with Yuder it hurts, 2) he's dying and is obviously dealing with A Lot, and 3) Yuder is probably too young and inexperienced for a lot of shits Kishiar's involved in.

Still!!!! Kishiar!!!!!! Open your goddamn mouth and at least tell Yuder you treasure him like a human being!!!!!!!

Hottest Stand Battle - Preliminary Match: The Chariot Face-off

Stand abilities under the cut:

Silver Chariot: Silver Chariot is a humanoid Stand clad in armor and armed with a rapier. It is particularly deadly at close-range combat due to its speed and precision.

Chariot Requiem: Upon activation, Chariot Requiem puts every living being in a large area around it into a forceful sleep of around 6–7 hours. During that sleep, Requiem switches the soul of one organism with that of another around, regardless of species. Chariot Requiem's true ability is complete control of the "souls of all living beings" in the world. With enough time, the Stand will begin to transform souls affected by its ability into the souls of unidentifiable, otherworldly beings, causing horrifying mutations.

Chariot Requiem is particularly resilient; it reattaches detached limbs with ease, as demonstrated when it reconnects its arm after it was severed, and it also demonstrates the ability to control its severed limbs from a distance.

A quick reminder that when people say, "we were all for pride until they Went Too Far," what they often mean is, "I was never 'for pride' until it became a little more socially acceptable to say so without facing consequences."

Growing up (at least for myself), when gay marriage was still illegal, the same people who pretended they were always "for pride" were the same ones who'd've said, "But a child needs a mommy and daddy! Homosexuality is unnatural because of that!!" as an 'argument' as to why gay marriage deserved to stay illegal.

Why Should You opt For Custom CNC Machining Services?

A vast majority of individuals are not acquainted with custom CNC machining because of the involvement of technicalities. With time, the world of manufacturing processes has undergone crucial changes. The manufacturing industry, on the whole, relies on computer numerical control machining.
